Bikeghe Fang Mask - Gabon (Senza prezzo di riserva)
A Bikeghe Fang mask is a specific type of ceremonial wooden mask from the Fang people of Gabon, known for its distinctive features like prominent eyebrows, a mustache (representing Europeans/colonizers), and white kaolin coating, used by the Ngil secret society for justice, finding witches, and initiation, evolving from the famous Ngil masks after colonial restrictions. These large, striking masks often depict a caricature of a European colonial official and served important social control functions, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
